Fix Refrigerator & Freezer not getting cold, but clicks on and off.

okay folks this is gonna be a unique video I am so tired of repairmen coming to your house and lying straight to your face about what is wrong with an appliance charging you an in-house call plus miss diagnosing many times the incorrect part in order to charge you lots of money fixing the fridge normally is very easy this is the back of my Kenmore Elite freezer and fridge the bottom portion if you take a look is the freezer you can see the edge of the door that's opened I'm gonna pause this video I'm gonna get down there and explain what is going on so we had a freezer and fridge that stopped cooling all of a sudden everything thought out we had to open up the doors take everything out and called my wife because my wife is up in northern Arizona by herself had to call Sears Sears came out and told her two things were wrong computer board which you can see the door above a few seconds ago in my video that plastic door he diagnosed that board going wrong as well as this compressor bad bad compressor that was incorrect what was going on was we can hear the compressor clicking on and off every minute as though it was trying to to start up that white piece I'm moving the fan a little bit the wipe first of all this hose is the water drain from the freezer but this white housing is your fan that pulls air across your cold coils obviously the compressor the problem for me was a stupid $9 part located the part it's called a relay pardon my shaky camera while I maneuver this so there's the back of the compressor let me grab the flashlight there's the compressor you can even see it says r134 on it it's that big kettle thing and there you have all the wires going into the compressor and the the housing of the start relay now some refrigerators we'll call it just to relay some we'll call it a PCT relay some we'll call it a start relay relay it's a damned relay so you got to pull that cover off give me a give me a little bit of your patience while I shake the camera a little bit and work with one hand so I've already actually pried the cover off so I wouldn't make a big deal over it you pull it out and I'm gonna move my hand and move the camera a little bit it is this plastic piece the only thing that's connected to it let me move the wall move the camera a little bit our two clips wired clips there's one right there you can see it all you do is slide it out and I'm gonna try to do the best to slide these out while the camera is doing its that while I'm shaking the camera all over creation so there's one wire I just slid it out go for the back one the back one is now out this whole oops this whole unit now I am gonna slide this out it's just held on by two prongs let me see if I can get my hand in there it just slides I'm trying to manipulate the camera it just slides out okay so I purposely left it there a little bit you see the two prongs there so let me turn this so I'm gonna pause the camera and pull the piece up on a work table okay what we saw is this part again please be patient with my shaky hand I'm gonna turn the piece over this is what was in there it just slides in to the compressor utilizing two prongs so it just slides out there's no screws or nothing this is a three pronged relay but only the two prongs are utilized see there's no prong on that upper side trying to get the camera to focus there's two prongs there but only the two bottom prongs are utilized on this side was your red and on that side was the blue and again it just slides in one of the surefire ways to know that these are bad is what it sounds like marbles I got one four nine two actually eight dollars and change it was $8.95 an original part on Amazon free shipping that clown who came in had tried to talk my wife into buying a whole new computer board and a whole new compressor I guarantee you he would have walked in with those parts and after my wife wasn't looking he would have replaced that walked out with the two brand-new parts left everything else intact and charged her for everything um that's all it was take care folks
